Ash clouds from Hayli Gubbi volcano sent drifting over Yemen, Oman, India and northern Pakistan
A volcano in Ethiopia’s north-eastern region has erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, sending thick plumes of smoke up to 9 miles (14km) into the sky, according to the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC).
The Hayli Gubbi volcano, located in Ethiopia’s Afar region about 500 miles north-east of Addis Ababa near the Eritrean border, erupted on Sunday for several hours.
